Unpacking Your System
Before you unpack your system, make sure the location is free of clutter and dust. Also, make
sure you have clean power and a VGA monitor nearby.

The drives that were shipped with this server are pre-configured for use with this server only.
Therefore, when installing the drives, make sure to use these drives only.

If your server is 2-channel model, look for your codecs in a separate package. You will need to
install these on your Video I/O card before rack mounting your system.
To unpack your system:
1. Open the box.
2. Unpack your system.
Avid recommends that you keep all packaging materials for at least 90 days. If you need to
return a system to Avid Technology, Inc., the system must be repackaged in its original
packaging material to ensure that there is no damage to the system during shipment.
3. Remove all of the boxes, and lay them out so you can verify that you have received all of the
components that should have been shipped.
4. Once all of the boxes and components have been unpacked, visually inspect the chassis to
make sure that it is free of all scratches and dents, that there are straight connectors on the
back, and that the power-supply securing screws are not bent.
5. The next step is to verify that you have received all of the items particular to your order. For
more information, see “Verifying Components” on page 3.
